UHID(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UHID(4)
NAMEuhid -- USB generic HID support
SYNOPSISdeviceuhidDESCRIPTION
The uhid driver provides support for all HID (Human Interface Device)
interfaces in USB devices that do not have a special driver.
The device handles the following ioctl(2) calls:
USB_GET_REPORT_ID (int)
Get the report identifier used by this HID report.
USB_GET_REPORT_DESC (structusb_ctl_report_desc)
Get the HID report descriptor. Using this descriptor the exact
layout and meaning of data to/from the device can be found. The
report descriptor is delivered without any processing.
struct usb_ctl_report_desc {
int size;
u_char data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */
};
USB_SET_IMMED (int)
Sets the device in a mode where each read(2) will return the cur-
rent value of the input report. Normally a read(2) will only
return the data that the device reports on its interrupt pipe.
This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.
USB_GET_REPORT (structusb_ctl_report)
Get a report from the device without waiting for data on the
interrupt pipe. The report field indicates which report is
requested. It should be UHID_INPUT_REPORT, UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT,
or UHID_FEATURE_REPORT. This call may fail if the device does
not support this feature.
struct usb_ctl_report {
int report;
u_char data[1024]; /* used data size will vary */
};
USB_SET_REPORT (structusb_ctl_report)
Set a report in the device. The report field indicates which
report is to be set. It should be UHID_INPUT_REPORT,
UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT, or UHID_FEATURE_REPORT. This call may fail
if the device does not support this feature.
Use read(2) to get data from the device. Data should be read in chunks
of the size prescribed by the report descriptor.
Use write(2) to send data to the device. Data should be written in
chunks of the size prescribed by the report descriptor.
